Overview

The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, enacted by the Parliament of Australia, established the framework for conducting federal elections in Australia. The Act was designed to ensure the integrity and fairness of the electoral process by providing rules and regulations governing voter eligibility, the conduct of elections, and the management of electoral rolls. The Act aimed to fill the gap in the need for a unified electoral system across the country, ensuring that all eligible citizens have the right to vote and be represented in the federal parliament. The 2019 Gazette by the Australian Electoral Commission, pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, provides an updated schedule of the number of electors enrolled in each Division as at 28 February 2019, along with the average divisional enrolment and the percentage deviation for each state and territory. The policy objective behind this publication is to maintain transparency and accuracy in electoral data, which is crucial for fair and representative elections.

Scope and Application

The Australian Electoral Commission, under section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, has provided a detailed schedule outlining the number of enrolled electors in each division of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory as of 28 February 2019. The schedule also includes the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for each respective state, territory, and the Australian Capital Territory. The data is intended to assist in electoral representation and redistricting processes within the Commonwealth of Australia. This publication does not specify any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, nor does it indicate the use of subordinate instruments to extend or restrict its application. The geographic reach of the Act is national, covering all states, territories, and the Australian Capital Territory, ensuring a comprehensive representation of electoral data across the country.

Key Provisions

Pursuant to section 58 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the Australian Electoral Commission has provided data on the number of electors enrolled in each division within each state and territory as of 28 February 2019. This includes the total number of enrolled electors in each division, as well as the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average divisional enrolment for the respective state or territory. The average divisional enrolment for each state and the Australian Capital Territory has also been determined. The Act imposes obligations on the Electoral Commissioner to ascertain and publish this data, ensuring transparency and accuracy in electoral enrolment statistics. The Electoral Commissioner must provide a detailed schedule that lists the number of electors enrolled in each division, the average divisional enrolment, and the percentage deviation of each division's enrolment from the average. This information is crucial for the fair representation of electoral divisions and for the equitable allocation of resources within the electoral system. Failure to comply with the obligations set out in the Act could lead to potential legal consequences. While the specific offences, penalties, or consequences for breach are not detailed within the provided text, it is understood that breaches of electoral laws can result in civil or criminal penalties. Typically, such breaches may attract fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity and nature of the offence. The exact penalties would be determined by the relevant laws governing electoral conduct and administration.
